Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My first question is for Mr. Pegg.
Thank you for educating us on the situation many single unattached people face. A third of them are actually unable to cover their basic needs.
If you don't mind, I'd like more information on something else in your recent report, the series of recommendations on food security for northern residents. It's an area we are more involved in at the federal level, one where we need to find solutions and make improvements.
In addressing the issue, you point to transportation and energy in the northern context. I'd like you to tell us why you chose to tie transportation and energy to food security in isolated northern communities.
